Containment theory suggests that deviance is solely determined by biological factors rather than social influences.

Containment theory actually suggests that deviance is influenced by both social factors and personal controls, not just biological ones. It argues that people have inner and outer controls that help them resist the temptation to engage in deviant behavior. For example, a person might choose not to steal because they have a strong sense of right and wrong (inner control) and fear of getting caught (outer control). This means that social influences, like family and community, play a big role in shaping behavior. So, while biology might have some impact, it’s really the social environment and personal choices that help keep people in line.
